- Typical capacity
- Depositors in this class typically handle deposit volumes ranging from a few millilitres up to approximately 1 litre per cycle, depending on the cylinder size and product viscosity. This unit's cylinder suggests a capacity around 0.5 litres.
- Power supply
- Many smaller depositors operate on standard single-phase UK electrical supplies (230V, 50Hz), though some may require compressed air.
- Materials of construction
- Units designed for food processing, such as this one, are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for contact parts and external surfaces to ensure hygiene and durability.
- Operation method
- This type of single-head depositor commonly features foot-pedal operation for precise control, allowing the operator to manage the production flow.
- Deposit accuracy
- For this class of equipment, deposit accuracy is typically high, often within +/- 1-3% by volume, crucial for consistent product quality and cost control.
- Footprint
- Benchtop or compact stand-alone designs are common for single-head depositors, requiring a relatively small operational footprint.
